The City of Mount Pearl, Newfoundland and Labrador, is moving its Family Skate sessions from Glacier 1 to Glacier 2 on Saturday, March 7, and Saturday, March 14, 2026, to accommodate a youth hockey tournament.
The skating sessions will still take place from 2:00 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., but families must use the specific Glacier 2 entrance instead of the main building lobby. All participants are required to wear a CSA-approved helmet, such as those designed for hockey, downhill skiing, or snowboarding, while they are on the ice.
While Glacier 2 is a smaller space than the main rink, it offers 350 heated seats for spectators. The Fireside Café will also be open in the Glacier 2 area on both Saturdays until 4:00 p.m. to provide food and drink service to families.
The Mount Pearl Blades Minor Hockey Association is using the main rink those weekends to host an Under-9 hockey jamboree. Visitors should expect more traffic than usual near the arena on Olympic Drive and should plan for different parking and arrival patterns during the event.
